2021 East To West Road Trip

We made a quick stop at Crater Lake coming from Bend Oregon to Crescent city CA. To think of the marvel this beautiful wonder as a remnant Volcano is like no other you will ever see. The color can't be captured in a photo and the awe struck feeling you get standing next to it is something only a mind can capture. Gods work indeed!

After a quick stop in Burns, OR we made it to Bend and Sara😍. We stayed at 2 different campgrounds, Bend-Sunriver was closer to Sara so we got to see her a lot. We floated down the Deschutes River (no photos, we couldn't manage a camera on the river), hung out in Drake's Park, climbed Mount Tumalo 😳, ate some great food and still had time to just be together at the campsite.

What a lovely surprise after being in the desert for sooooo long! We were right on the Snake River with beautiful sunsets, grass, and fresh breezes, even though it was hot.  and there were beans... miles and miles of beans.

We know you think you are all about potatoes but we know the truth

 We stayed at Rock park in  Twin Falls Idaho which was some kind of county park located in the city. Twin Falls is known as a gateway to Snake River Canyon, which lies just to the north of the state. Shoshone Falls and Perrine Coulee Falls are located within the outskirts of the city and are beautiful to see. For me, and dating myself to a young fourteen year old who has had the love of motorcycles my whole life, it was seeing the place where my child hood hero attempted to jump the snake river canyon on his steamed powered rocket/motorcycle. In the early seventies, Evil Knevil had a large dirt mount and ramp constructed on land that e leased in 1974 to jump the canyon but quickly failed as his parachute deployed prematurely shortly after take off. None the less, it felt like we were standing on holy ground and was really fund to stand there and think about having watched that on TV. The city has beautiful greenways along the canyon that go right past the historical site. How cool!
